‘I’m Hoping To Get Experience’: 80 NCHS Seniors Set for Internships through Popular Local Program
|
In some ways, New Canaan High School senior Fiona Risom already has gained plenty of work experience. A competitive sailor, she’s been a junior instructor for seven summers and has her sights set this year on getting paid to run her own class at a yacht club in Westchester. Risom also worked as a paid coach for the New Canaan Lacrosse Association last spring. Yet—until now—she’s never worked in an office setting before. “I’m hoping to get experience,” Risom said after school Thursday, speaking of her participation in the NCHS Senior Internship Program.
